    摘要: An arc fault detector includes slew-rate-detection, envelope-step-detection, and first and second controller units. The slew-rate-detection-unit determines a slew rate of the electric current in the first electric line, comparing the slew rate with a threshold, and outputting a slew-rate-detection-signal on a second output when the determined slew rate is higher than the threshold. The envelope-step-detection-unit determines change of an envelope-value of a predefined frequency band of the broadband measurement signal within a predefined timespan, and outputs an envelope-step-detection-signal on a third output when the change is higher than a threshold change. The first controller-unit, connected to second and third outputs, outputs a second arc-detection-signal on a fourth output when it receives slew-rate and frequency-detection signals within a first detection-window. The second controller-unit, connected to first and fourth outputs, outputs a trigger signal when it receives first and second arc-detection-signals for at least a defined total time within a second detection-window.

    摘要: A leakage current detection and interruption device includes a switch module configured to control electrical connection between input and output ends of power supply lines; a leakage current detection module configured to generate a leakage fault signal in response to a leakage current in the power supply lines; a leakage-responsive drive module configured to drive the switch module to disconnect the electrical connection in response to the leakage fault signal; a fault-responsive drive module configured to drive the switch module to disconnect the electrical connection in response to a fault in the leakage-responsive drive module; and a self-test module configured to generate a self-test signal and to generate a self-test fault signal in response to a fault in the leakage current detection module and/or the leakage-responsive drive module. By providing the fault-responsive drive module, the device can automatically disconnect the electrical power when the leakage-responsive drive module has a fault.

    摘要: A switch short-circuited diagnosis method includes steps of: determining an initial voltage interval of multiple voltage intervals according to voltage relationships between voltages of a first phase wire, a second phase wire, and a third phase wire; performing a switch short-circuited diagnosis of a first bidirectional switch module in the three consecutive voltage intervals from the initial voltage interval, and including steps of: turning on a first switch branch, a second switch branch, or a third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module according to the voltage relationships between the voltages of the first, second and third phase wires, determining whether an overcurrent occurs to diagnose whether the first switch branch, the second switch branch, or the third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module is in a short-circuited state, and performing the switch short-circuited diagnosis for the next voltage interval.

    摘要: An earth leakage detecting device comprises following elements. A first end of coupling capacitor is connected to a current path of power storage connected to load in a state of being insulated from a ground. Voltage output unit generates a periodic voltage that changes periodically, and applies the periodic voltage to a second end of coupling capacitor via impedance element. Voltage measurer measures a voltage at a connection point between coupling capacitor and impedance element. Earth leakage determiner determines presence or absence of an earth leakage between the current path of power storage and the ground on the basis of the measured voltage. Voltage output unit has a preparation period for constantly outputting a potential between a high-side potential and a low-side potential of the periodic voltage before a measurement period for outputting the periodic voltage.
